Three Poems by Bob Eager







FOCUS On FORESIGHT 

Deleted Hindsight (FOF)



Often times relying on hindsight,

Is like..

Midnight Quaterbacking on a


Sunday Evening; 


Delete your hindsight!


Easy to say but what about circumspection..



Put your finger  on the delete button instead of send

practice;


before that one last drink,

one last text


Hold finger in the air..

practice the  key called  backspace.





Describing in conclusion 


The mistakes have been made 

and the correction installed;


Focusing  on  Foresight


Think it Through




FEAR Of Not BEING PUNCTUAL ( Also called ALLEGROPHOBIA)



Be a day early rather than a minute late


No reason not to.



Why wait?


Most of life is just showing


up on time and even earlier,


Remember that feeling


Of walking  into a class


the last one,


every one looks at you.


Never again.


Plan your life ahead,


It’s only reasonable,


Stay on schedule


Keep the


Fear of not being punctual.
